A Hope Lodge guest clued me into the wonderful world of Caroline Myss, a medical intuitive who's authored several best-selling books on health and spirituality. First book I read was Anatomy of the Spirit. Anyone who's ever done yoga or meditation knows that humans don't just have energy---we ARE energy. Every cell in our bodies live and breathe. In the book, she skillfully blends Christian, Hindu and Jewish beliefs to explain how our psychology becomes our biology. It discusses thought patterns, old habits that make it hard for people to begin their healing.

This is not your ordinary self-help book. It's confusing and illuminating but ultimately for me, life-changing. I'm still a curmudgeon, but a happy one.

May we all have opportunities for growth and rebirth in our lives. Happy Easter!
